Small but unexpected. From my understanding, the first year for the 4CV in USA (and possibly Canada) was 1952 - so I guess this must be a private import or sold by some 3rd party dealer specialising in small imports? Could also be a visitor from abroad or possibly Mexico. |

Standard Catalog has 4CV arriving in US late 48 or start of 49 - sole distributor was John L. Green (New York, plus regional offices in LA and Atlanta). It was the only Renault sold there until Fregate arrived in 53, and had Standard and Grand Luxe choice in 49, with Super Grand Lixe added in 51. Sales were 1402 (1949), 1551 (1950), 777 (1951), 374 (1952) etc, and it stayed on sale in US until 60/61. |
